Agile and parallel development teams inevitably reach deadlocks as diff=
erent teams are simultaneously working on interconnected system components=
=E2=80=94and each team needs to access the others' components in order to c=
omplete its own development and testing tasks.

End-to-end functional testing is stymied by the difficulty of accessing=
all of the necessary dependencies=E2=80=94with the configurations you need=
to test against=E2=80=94at a single, convenient, and lengthy enough time.<=

Parasoft Virtualize=E2=80=99s service virtualization provides access to =
the dependencies that are beyond your control, still evolving, or too compl=
ex to configure in a virtual test lab. For example, this might include thir=
d-party services (credit check, payment processing, etc.), mainframes and S=
AP or other ERPs. With service virtualization, you don=E2=80=99t have to vi=
rtualize an entire system when you need to access only a fraction of its av=
ailable functionality. As you naturally exercise the application under test=
, Parasoft captures interactions with dependencies and converts this behavi=
or into flexible =E2=80=9Cvirtual assets=E2=80=9D with easily-configurable =
response parameters (e.g., performance, test data and response logic). Soph=
isticated virtual assets can be created and provisioned for role-based acce=
ss in a matter of minutes.

During test execution, you can visualize and trace the intra-process eve=
nts triggered by tests, facilitating rapid diagnosis of problems directly f=
rom the test environment. You can also continuously validate whether critic=
al events continue to satisfy functional expectations as the system evolves=
